Simple Plan:
I've got a keg and a pump tap for it. My plan is to just get a mini-fridge that I can snugly fit a keg in, and then drill a hole where I plan to stick the tap through. Am I forgetting anything?
Thanks

Like that? Will you not need CO2+regulator?

I've got a tap like this one:

you just pump it to build up the pressure in the keg. CO2 is a little to rich for my blood.
And not quite like that one. My school has strict limits on fridge-size so I want the tap to just stick straight out of the top of the fridge through a hole. I don't know how thick the top of a fridge is, but yea.

Errrm what sort of Kegs we talking here? Cornelius or other??? Also i hope your going to drink that beer quickly, like within 2/3 days as it will oxidise like a bitch with those pumps and taste stale...

Kfc seems to know his stuff with kegs.
I'd just like to add that the top of that fridge is only thin sheet steel on the outside, foam insulation in the middle and thick-ish soft plastic on the inside. Not too much of a challenge once you drill a pilot hole and take it slow with a large bit.
